About Mechion

Mechion is a start-up working on creating autonomous patient observation systems
which use Artificial Intelligence in order to provide analytics, insights, quantitative and qualitative data of
high value to family members, carers as well as Doctors and Hospitals.
We are based in Coventry, UK, home of the British automotive industry and are currently taking part in the
StartUpBootcamp accelerator in London.

In Mechion we strongly believe that people with mental and congitive health problems, such as those affected by dementia, should have the
opportunity to live in their own homes for as long as it is possible. We understand that people with mild or moderate
dementia are still functional human beings and that moving them to hopsitals or clinics creates a lot of stress, anxiety and anguish.

By focusing on the emotional wellbeing and related changes, we believe we can help with healthy ageing, detect important signs and changes
and alert family members to intervene or take action. Futhermore, emotional changes are highly correlated with Dementia progression or
other mental conditions and should be addressed on time.
